Scam warning – The NSW Police Force Fraud and Cybercrime Squad has warned Eurobodalla residents of a cold-call scheme, which tricks victims into downloading malicious software. Victims are asked to download a software program, which then shows a number of errors on the computer, said to be due to being hacked. A request for money to be sent overseas is then made, indicating it will help police in those nations to make arrests. Report scams to Scamwatch on 1300 795 995
